Faith in a time of Pandemic
Give from the Heart...
The Rumi FA is a registered nonprofit, established in 2017, with the aim of advancing social cohesion by connecting communities, empowering people to engage and contributing to the development of ideas on dialogue and community building. It does this by bringing people together through discussion forums, courses, and outreach. It operates state-wide with regional branches across Virginia.
Want to join me in supporting a good cause? I'm raising money for Rumi Friendship Association and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.
The Rumi FA is not a religious or ethnic organization. It aims to facilitate dialogue on a whole range of social issues, regardless of any particular faith or religion. It stands for democracy, human rights, the non-instrumentalisation of religion in politics, equality, diversity, inclusion and freedom of speech.
PAST EVENTS
Local Heroes Mercy Chef
We show our respect to Local Heroes Mercy Chef.
We would like to cover one week’s worth of 450 meals for local citizen homeless for Chief Heroes. We feel that during Ramadan, it is more meaningful.
As Rumi Friendship Association we are always ready to cooperate in local community programs with Chief Heroes and other non-profit organizations.
Keep building bridges through the Dialogue.
More activities coming soon…
